This barren landscape is navigated according to the standard conventions of homebrew interactive fiction: movement is dictated according to compass points and various inventory items are acquired to employ in the overcoming of small puzzles. Punctuating the landscape, however, are a series of shimmering, radiant pillars made of energy. Entering...
